Staz-on Timber Brown ink. I then water colored her with Distress Ink pads.

I have been experimenting water coloring on mixed media paper lately.
Although they are not as absorbent as watercolor paper, I found
they are good for water coloring stamp images,
.
I like the Canson 98lb Mixed Media paper better as you can
easily print digi stamps and the paper is more durable
than the lighter weight watercolor paper.

Hello Everyone!
Hope you are keeping well wherever you are.
Popping in to share a card I made for my son who just graduated from high school.
I bought this Magnolia stamp years ago for this special occasion.

Finally I got to stamp it and color up this sweet
Graduation Edwin or Eric!

I inked up the stamp with Staz-on Timber Brown ink and
water colored the image with Distress Ink pads.

I embossed around the image with white Frantage for added texture.

I used Eric's favorite color blue for the color theme and added some red and
amber as accents. I stenciled the background paper edges using white embossing paste
and a 6x6 The Story stencil from The Crafter's Workshop.
